A 1000 vertical ft decent down a prominent peak visible from Bozeman. This line starts in a short couloir 15 ft wide and then opens up into a wide open bowl before exiting in a gully. This line is relatively hard to get to so you can expect powder a week after a storm. I recommend skiing another line if you plan on making the trek up there. The snow preservation is great here so this line is skiable to early June a lot of years.
Difficulty

Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
